Chapter Summaries

Chen Ming learned that Electrolux could use Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s origin and the Life Gold to awaken a genuine Second Martial Soul, most likely a complete Body Martial Soul. The painful awakening began in the underground meditation room, leaving Chen Ming’s body burning, shrinking, and repeatedly rebuilding itself.

• Chen Ming read Electrolux’s Paladin legacy and asked whether the Life Gold could house Electrolux safely in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Electrolux explained how Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s origin contained Creation Force that could grant Chen Ming a Second Martial Soul.
• Electrolux said Chen Ming would most likely awaken a complete Body Martial Soul unless they introduced another variable, such as the Angel God’s Divine Fragment.
• Chen Ming left a letter for Chen Li, entered the underground meditation room, and agreed to undergo the awakening despite the expected pain.
• Chen Ming marked the Life Gold with his blood and pressed it to his brow as Electrolux began the ritual.
• The Life Gold entered Chen Ming’s brain and merged with his body as the awakened origin set his flesh, bones, and nerves ablaze in a cycle of destruction and reconstruction.

Chen Ming endured a devastating Body Martial Soul awakening, which the Angel God's remnant eased by sacrificing its remaining power. Afterward, Electrolux explained that the Douluo World's favor could be understood as ranked heirs competing for destiny, and Chen Ming realized he had become a participant in the struggle against those seeking to usurp the world.

• Chen Ming suffered as his body repeatedly burned away and regenerated during his awakening, while Electrolux struggled to keep the process going.
• The Angel God's Chestplate Fragment flew from Chen Ming's Storage Soul Tool, and the Pseudo-Angel God sacrificed her power to ease his pain and support the awakening.

• Electrolux described World Consciousness's favor as a shifting hierarchy of heirs whose destiny could be gained, lost, and manipulated by ambitious factions.

• Electrolux confirmed that Chen Ming had become favored by the world and warned that he would face both danger and schemes from those seeking to usurp it.

After his rebirth, Chen Ming tested the enhanced power of his Body Martial Soul and learned that the false Qian Renxue fragment was collapsing without its divinity. Electrolux offered three ways to restore her, and Chen Ming promised to try before Electrolux went to sleep for a month.

• Chen Ming tested his reborn body's increased strength and found that his Body Martial Soul let him crush a reinforced wall while seamlessly using the Vajra Dragon Elephant's Soul Power and attributes.
• Electrolux explained that the fragment was a false Qian Renxue, created from divinity, faith, and a fixed impression, and that losing its divinity had destabilized her.
• Chen Ming learned that restoring the fragment would require finding the Angel God, waiting until Electrolux recovered or Chen Ming became a god, or transforming her into a special Soul Spirit attached to his Second Martial Soul.
• Chen Ming promised to restore the fragment if he had the opportunity, and Electrolux said the Life Gold had benefited Chen Ming's soul and body before going to sleep for about a month.

After awakening his second Martial Soul, Chen Ming explained his transformation to Chen Li and Chen Ping, who recognized his extraordinary strength and proposed a rapid cultivation plan. Chen Ming rejected the ordinary route to power and sought to surpass the Douluo World's limits, leaving the Dragon Elephant Sect considering how to acquire the Body Sect's knowledge.

• Chen Ming returned to his bedroom, where Chen Li mistook his changed appearance for a stranger and attacked before recognizing him.
• Chen Ming told Chen Li and Chen Ping that Electrolux had awakened his Second Martial Soul, and he revealed his complete Body Martial Soul.

• Chen Ming indicated that a power above the Douluo World's limits was needed to challenge the being in the sky, and said he wanted to use Elder Yi's knowledge to prepare.
• Chen Ming asked about the Body Sect, and Chen Li reported that its Sect Master, Du Busi, was heading toward Mingdu and proposed capturing him for his secrets.

Huo Yuhao traveled toward Mingdu with Du Busi, who protected him from Evil Soul Masters and tried to recruit him into the Body Sect. After they left a prosperous city, Du Busi sensed an ambush and confronted six figures from the Sun Moon Empire, including Kong Deming and Wang Shisan.

• Huo Yuhao rejected Du Busi’s repeated invitations to join the Body Sect, insisting that he had come to the Sun Moon Empire to find someone.
• Huo Yuhao recalled how repeated misfortune and attacks had driven him deeper into the Sun Moon Empire, where he met Du Busi, who rescued him and began accompanying him in disguise as Du Ziteng.
• Du Busi protected Huo Yuhao from pursuers and taught him to conceal himself while criticizing Shrek Academy, shaping Huo Yuhao’s distrust of Shrek.
• Huo Yuhao and Du Busi reached a prosperous area, rested for several days, and continued along the official road toward Mingdu.
• Du Busi sensed hidden enemies, summoned his Martial Soul, and challenged the ambushers as six figures emerged from concealment.
• Chen Li mocked Chen Ping’s Soul Tool, while the gathered group included Wang Shisan, Jing Hongchen, and Kong Deming.

Du Busi discovered that Chen Ming possessed an Extreme Attribute Body Martial Soul and tried to recruit him for the Body Sect, while Chen Li and Chen Ping guarded against him. After Kong Deming revealed his overwhelming strength, Du Busi explained that the Body Sect’s inheritance could be shared, but its full benefits required gradual training and adaptation.

Tang San changed his plans to draw Huo Yuhao back to Shrek, while Wang Dong began questioning Shrek’s conditions and was punished by Zhou Qi. As Huo Yuhao settled into the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he and Wang Dong ended the day with sharply different experiences.

• Tang San realized Huo Yuhao had reached the Sun Moon Empire and planned to send Wu Tong there and use the Holy Spirit Cult to lure him toward Shrek.
• Wang Dong’s cognitive filter weakened, making her see Shrek’s New Student Dormitory Building as intolerably poor, and she complained to Long Xiaoyao.

• Huo Yuhao began classes at the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy and enjoyed a free medicinal meal using Chen Ming’s meal card.
• Wang Dong attacked Zhou Qi on the Sports Field and was knocked down after he threatened to expel her for criticizing Shrek’s dormitory conditions.

Chen Ming brought Huo Yuhao into Mingde Hall for specialized cultivation just as Wang Dong'er transferred to the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Wang Dong'er discovered that she suffered from an extreme aversion to Soul Tools, leaving her isolated and deeply depressed.

• Chen Ming told Huo Yuhao that he would leave the academy and train in Mingde Hall under a professional plan.
• Chen Ming explained that the delay had allowed Mingde Hall to observe Huo Yuhao and see whether his arrival attracted attention, and that Wang Dong'er had transferred that day.
• Wang Dong'er joined class one and felt inexplicably disappointed while trying to adjust to her new school.
• Wang Dong'er became nauseated and vomited when she tried to use a Soul Tool during class.
• A Healing System Soul Emperor found Wang Dong'er physically healthy, and she later confirmed through repeated tests that using Soul Tools caused her extreme distress.
• Wang Dong'er remembered Zhou Qi's mockery and sank into depression over her apparent inability to use Soul Tools.

After Wang Dong'er returned to Clear Sky Peak, she told Niu Tian and Tai Tan that Soul Tools caused her increasing pain and that she feared she could never study or grow stronger. Tang San dismissed her suffering and ordered her back to the Soul Engineer Academy, while her adoptive fathers began planning to resist him and protect her.

• Wang Dong'er returned to Clear Sky Peak in distress and told Niu Tian and Tai Tan that touching or using Soul Tools caused her severe pain, making her give up on the academy.
• Niu Tian and Tai Tan recalled that Wang Dong'er had suffered the same reaction as a child and that Tang San had brushed off their concerns when they first contacted him.
• Niu Tian and Tai Tan summoned Tang San's Divine Sense, but Tang San dismissed the problem and ordered Wang Dong'er to return to the academy and use Tang Sect hidden weapons instead.
• Tang San forbade Niu Tian and Tai Tan from revealing Wang Dong'er's parents' identities unless he permitted it, and told them to promise her that she would learn the truth if she surpassed the academy with hidden weapons.
• After Tang San's Divine Sense departed, Niu Tian and Tai Tan resolved to protect Wang Dong'er and Xiao Wu from Tang San, and considered seeking help from the God of Life and God of Destruction.

Electrolux awakened and discussed Chen Ming’s cultivation, proposing an Inverse Soul Spirit that compressed a Soul Beast’s energy into one enhanced Soul Ring. He warned Chen Ming that the method would worsen Soul Beast extinction, and Chen Ming agreed to consider changing the cultivation system before Electrolux asked him to gather Soul Rings for research.

• Chen Ming sensed Electrolux awakening in the Life Gold altar and learned that the elder had recovered by sleeping and absorbing Chen Ming’s Light Energy.
• Chen Ming and Electrolux spoke for hours about their pasts, identities, and experiences, growing more familiar with each other.
• Electrolux assessed Chen Ming’s Soul Rings and proposed Inverse Soul Spirits, which would concentrate a Soul Beast’s energy into one stronger Soul Ring with improved attributes and a special Soul Skill.
• Electrolux explained that Inverse Soul Spirits could not be inherited and would destroy Soul Beast souls, benefiting Soul Masters while accelerating Soul Beast extinction.
• Electrolux urged Chen Ming to seek coexistence and change Douluo World’s cultivation system if he gained the strength and opportunity; Chen Ming agreed to consider it.
• Electrolux asked Chen Ming to collect or encounter Soul Rings so he could study their essence, and Chen Ming agreed.

Chen Ming toured Mingde Hall with the awakened Electrolux, who examined its Soul Tools and offered Jing Hongchen detailed ways to improve them. They reached the unfinished Battle Armor, whose potential Electrolux recognized but chose not to reshape, leaving its development on its own path.

• Chen Ming relayed Electrolux's critique of the Void Stealth Soul Tool, and Jing Hongchen recorded his proposed improvements as they examined more devices.
• Jing Hongchen showed Chen Ming the unfinished Battle Armor being forged by Long Silou and Xiao Hongchen, and Electrolux judged it promising but declined to alter its distinctive design.

Chen Ming and Electrolux examined Mingde Hall’s Battle Armor, giant Mecha, and Beast Spirit Platform before deciding that observing a Soul Beast’s death could help perfect the Inverse Soul Spirit technique. After Kong Deming emerged from seclusion, he organized a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, bringing Zhang Lexuan out of confinement to join the hunt.

• Chen Ming and Electrolux inspected Mingde Hall’s Battle Armor and discovered that its giant Mecha used a large amount of Spirit-Forged Metal.
• Jing Hongchen explained how the Beast Spirit Platform preserved Soul Beast souls, removed the killer’s aura from Soul Rings, and increased their age using techniques obtained from captured Holy Spirit Cult members.
• Electrolux examined the preserved souls and asked Chen Ming to observe a Soul Beast’s death so he could investigate the laws behind Soul Rings and perfect the Inverse Soul Spirit technique.
• Chen Ming told Jing Hongchen he wanted to hunt for a Soul Ring, and Jing Hongchen reported the discussion to Kong Deming.
• Kong Deming emerged from seclusion, spoke with Electrolux through Chen Ming, and prepared to travel to the Star Dou Great Forest without Jing Hongchen or Chen Li.
• Kong Deming released Zhang Lexuan from more than three years of confinement and took her along as the Soul-Hunting Operation began.

Chen Ming, Kong Deming, and Zhang Lexuan tested how to create Soul Spirits from Gale Wolf Soul Rings in the Star Dou Great Forest, discovering that a wolf soul could be preserved in a vial. Elsewhere in the forest, Xuan Zi led Shrek disciples on a hunt and ate a Soul Beast’s heart.

• Kong Deming warned Zhang Lexuan that escaping would lead him to attack Shrek, and she abandoned her plans to flee.
• The group lured in eight Gale Wolves, and Zhang Lexuan killed them with her Martial Soul.
• Electrolux examined the wolves’ souls and found that lower-aged Soul Rings destabilized when their souls were returned to them.
• Chen Ming combined the wolves’ Soul Rings, increasing one Purple Soul Ring’s age before extracting its wolf soul into a vial as a Soul Spirit.
• Xuan Zi led sixteen Inner Court disciples on a hunt, ate the heart of a thousand-year Soul Beast, and praised its flavor.

Xuan Zi’s evolving Martial Soul drove him toward becoming an Evil Soul Master as he led Shrek’s hunting team through the Star Dou Great Forest. Meanwhile, Chen Ming’s group completed their Soul Spirit trials and pursued a Moon-aligned Hundred-Thousand-Year wolf that suited Zhang Lexuan.

• Xuan Zi’s appetite and bloodlust worsened as his Martial Soul’s devouring attribute grew, and he concealed his condition from Shrek’s Inner Court disciples by claiming he needed power to protect the academy.
• Chen Ming gave Kong Deming the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Soul Spirit, completing a series of trials that demonstrated the Soul Spirit technique could transform varied Soul Beasts.
• Zhang Lexuan recognized that Soul Spirits could strengthen Soul Engineers and asked Kong Deming to make one for her; he agreed but warned her against remaining disloyal afterward.

• The Soul Beast Chen Ming’s group had originally sought was already fighting elsewhere in the forest.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast nearly killed Wu Ming and the Shrek students, but Kong Deming intervened and subdued the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf. As Wu Ming recovered, the wolf accused the humans of slaughtering Soul Beasts for their Soul Bones.

• The Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf attacked the Shrek students, killing six and leaving Wu Ming, Yang Tao, and Chu Qingtian among the last defenders.
• Yang Tao and Chu Qingtian sacrificed themselves to protect Wu Ming from the wolf’s blood-colored yin wind.
• Zhang Lexuan arrived and fought the wolf, but Kong Deming caught its moonlight attack and returned it with enough force to badly wound the beast.
• Kong Deming identified the wolf as an Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf and sent pure Sun-attributed Soul Power into Wu Ming to stabilize her condition.
• Wu Ming asked Zhang Lexuan not to let the wolf escape, and the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf accused the humans of hunting Soul Beasts and killing them for their Soul Bones.

Wu Ming admitted that Shrek Academy’s hunt had grown into a mass slaughter of Soul Beasts under Elder Xuan’s approval. Chen Ming offered the captured Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf a chance to survive as a Soul Spirit, and Zhang Lexuan began the contract as his soul emerged from his body.

• Wu Ming confessed that the group had shifted from gathering Soul Rings to actively killing Soul Beasts and refining Secret Method Soul Bones, while Elder Xuan supported their escalating actions.
• Chen Ming blamed Wu Ming and concluded that the team’s reckless hunt and missing members had left them unable to defeat the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf; Wu Ming fainted in distress.
• Chen Ming asked whether the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf wanted to live and learned that he had come from the Sun Moon Continent seeking the Auspicious Beast’s help to survive his Heavenly Tribulation.
• Chen Ming explained the Soul Spirit technique and offered the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf survival in exchange for a contract with Zhang Lexuan, warning that refusal meant death.
• The Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf agreed to try becoming a Soul Spirit, and Zhang Lexuan began the conversion as he burned his origin and his soul emerged.

Zhang Lexuan successfully formed a Soul Spirit contract with the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf, gaining a powerful new ally while Electrolux secretly planted a lethal trap in her soul. When Xuan Zi arrived and accused her of betraying Shrek, he attacked to silence the witnesses.

• Chen Ming and Electrolux guided the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf into Zhang Lexuan's Eighth Soul Ring, creating a hundred-thousand-year Soul Spirit without increasing her Soul Power.
• Electrolux secretly embedded a hidden mine in Zhang Lexuan's Martial Soul and Sea of Consciousness, which he could detonate if she betrayed their side or returned to Shrek.
• Zhang Lexuan summoned the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf and learned that it remained nearly as strong as before; she then asked Kong Deming to let the unconscious Wu Ming return to Shrek alive.
• Kong Deming spotted Xuan Zi approaching, and the old man arrived to find Zhang Lexuan beside Wu Ming, the corpses, and the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf.
• Xuan Zi accused Zhang Lexuan of defecting to the Sun Moon Empire and causing the deaths, then attacked her and the others with a Soul Power-charged fist.

Zhang Lexuan and the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf fought Xuan Zi while Kong Deming watched, until Xuan Zi transformed and clashed with Kong Deming’s power. Xuan Zi escaped deep underground, and Kong Deming concealed Chen Ming and the others as powerful Soul Beasts arrived to investigate.

• Zhang Lexuan used her Eighth Soul Skill, Blood Moon Eclipse, and the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf attacked Xuan Zi, but he blocked their strikes with his Soul Power and an earthy shield.
• Zhang Lexuan threw Wu Ming to Chen Ming and attacked with her remaining Soul Skills, while Xuan Zi focused on Kong Deming and then transformed with his Martial Soul Avatar.
• Kong Deming revealed his Silver Moon Martial Soul, and Xuan Zi recognized him as a Limit Douluo before devouring his Soul Rings and unleashing a massive explosive attack.
• The explosion sent Xuan Zi flying, but he escaped by burrowing several hundred meters underground; Kong Deming failed to catch him and hid Chen Ming and the others in a Soul Tool.
• Demon Spirit, Di Tian, and Bi Ji arrived to investigate the clash, and Di Tian sensed traces of power from fighters near the Limit Douluo level.

Di Tian investigated the clash in the Star Dou Great Forest and secured the Auspicious Beast while Kong Deming sheltered Chen Ming and the others. Chen Ming asked the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf for a powerful Soul Beast suited to his fifth Soul Ring and learned of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear serving as a prison guard.

• Di Tian sent Soul Beasts to investigate the battle, found evidence of an Evil Soul Master’s attack, and returned to the Lake of Life with Bi Ji and the Auspicious Beast.
• Kong Deming released Chen Ming, Zhang Lexuan, and Wu Ming from his Soul Tool in a safe cave after defeating a Dark Gold Bear.
• Chen Ming created a Soul Spirit from the Dark Gold Bear’s Soul Ring and soul, then asked Zhang Lexuan to summon the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf.
• Chen Ming explained why the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf was not suited to become his Soul Spirit and asked it about powerful Soul Beasts with strong physiques.
• The Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf suggested a Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, then revealed that the bear guarded a captive Soul Beast in a canyon.

The Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf revealed the history behind the imprisoned Soul Beast and described a Titan Giant Ape who had returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and fathered a child with a human woman. After three days of rest, Chen Ming, Kong Deming, and Zhang Lexuan returned to the Core Area to hunt Soul Beasts, while Wu Ming awoke and headed back toward Shrek.

• The Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf explained that Di Tian had imprisoned a powerful, unnamed Soul Beast under the guard of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
• At Chen Ming's questioning, the Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf recounted the Jade Rabbit Emperor's crime, his death, and the Fierce Beasts' decision to spare his family.
• The Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf described meeting a human-form Titan Giant Ape, later identifying him as the Titan Giant Ape who had returned from the God Realm and fathered a child with a human woman.
• The Evil Eye Heavenly Wolf said he had secretly protected the child each year, hoping to gain help surviving his Heavenly Tribulation, then returned to Zhang Lexuan's mind.
• Kong Deming planned to investigate the prisoner and its guard and study the child, then rested three days before taking Chen Ming and Zhang Lexuan back to the Core Area.
• Wu Ming woke in the cave, checked her condition, and hurried back toward Shrek.
